The 5 W's may just be the single most important piece of information that has graced this planet we call earth. They consist of Who, What, Where, When, Why, and even sometimes How. The who signals for who the data collected by, or who answered the data questions. The what stands for what the data is about, or the description of the data. The where is the location of where the data was collected, or the place where the data was researched. The when is the time period of the data collection. The why is the reason behind doing the collection of the data. While how is not always asked it does have a "W" at the end and therefore deserves respect. The how stands for how the data was collected, whether that be by going door-to-door or keeping people in a locked room. These are the 5 W's, enjoy.
Important? Yes. The single most important thing on earth? Not so much. :)
